@b33fpebble Wile it's easiest conclusion it gives consumers a wrong hope that EU with their GDPR is some what superior in handling their data, which is wrong corps do not need data per se, what they need is metadata to train their models so as long as they never store data that being automatically collected by networking systems and only use to train models to predict your next move they are fine. Your data/metadata is only safe in your own hands. #privacy #selfhosted

@phil Congrats! What a great achievement!

Europe is often seen as a champion of privacy laws that supposedly protect people, and it's a good thing. However that also makes courts more open to an idea of censorship requests, especially German courts. Here is one example, where DNS provider can not and should not be liable for unlawful content stored on somebody's servers. DNS providers are phonebooks of 21-st century. https://torrentfreak.com/dns-resolver-quad9-loses-global-pirate-site-blocking-case-against-sony-230308/ #privacy

How good is 2FA if vendor uses it for advertising purposes. Twitter was fined by FTC and here is the story https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2022/05/twitter-pay-150-million-penalty-allegedly-breaking-its-privacy-promises-again but how can you trust other vendors that they would not use your PII for purposes other than 2FA. Best way is to avoid vendors who want PII for 2FA authentication, and use apps that generate time based code. #punkprivacy

Smartphones were a very significant innovation, however there is a dark side to all of that, with all of the apps where developers are fighting for your attention they also a curse, especially for kids and teens, who does not necessarily possess stamina to thwart negativity they could bring.https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/honestly-its-probably-the-phones

Now that finally make sense, I was wondering how, and had some of the ideas and was astonished by complexity of systems advertisers built, but apparently truth is way more simpler. To show you an extent of how things are being tracked, once I started searching and reading articles regarding astrophotography, one of the computers in my house with OS from MS all of the sudden displayed one of the pics on subject. #privacy https://thenextweb.com/news/duckduckgo-microsoft-tracking-sparks-backlash

Here is interesting thought, let's imagine you already know that there is going to be downfall in demand because who would take mortgage at 7%, how could you keep prices high. Simple you just decrease supply by pulling out from a mortgage market selling bs story that people are not interested in buying and rather would rent, simultaneously buying houses which you can rent out, to those who "prefer" to rent. Simple capitalism of 21th century.

Non-compete clauses are damaging economy! Trade secrets and other types of proprietary information that some one could comes around during professional career are already protected through other agreements and laws, leaving only purpose for non-compete agreements is to hold employees hostage. Competition has always been a force that drives innovation forward, prohibiting it will lead to stagnation. Take action, leave comment now. https://www.regulations.gov/document/FTC-2023-0007-0001

If you still have your PayPal account, this is something for you to be aware of. Looks like they had #databreach #cybersecurity https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/paypal-accounts-breached-in-large-scale-credential-stuffing-attack/

@phil Happy Monday to you too!

Obviously I don't have a NYT account and never read the full article, but it feels like the so-called mainstream media attempting to plant a seed that privacy is dangerous, looking at click bait article title "The Signal App and the Danger of Privacy at All Costs" that is purest propaganda from any government. Don't believe today's media, think with your own head and defend your #privacy at all costs, because it's a last resort that makes us individuals.

@mikarv Standard that requires you to compromise your security, in order to access it, worth nothing, so just ignore them and get information from people/orgs that understand cybersecurity.
